Just out of curiosity, what should the price tag be for every single person living here to ensure it stays a free country? Is it expected that others will serve on our behalf?

this is the only good thing I can see from this for our country. Get rid of the trash.

After seeing all the non stop war for profit. Bs rules of engagement hand cuff our men, many young men I known personally that have been physically and mentally scared. Not counting those killed and others that have been taking their own lifes I can't get behind my kids joining today's military voluntary or compulsory.

Afghanistan wast of life's and money for decade plus all for nothing. THIS IS were I know many scared and killed from personally.

If they are not attacking us directly we have no business there. we should not be the world's police force. When we do need to attack it should be with 100% fight to win and fast . Total war no holding back.

Take fire from a school and hospital cool opening the bomb bay door at 30,000 feet and level the building don't send our guys in to clear it. Civilians die in war and you can't make war pretty. It needs to be as violent and ugly as possible and be over fast as possible. The uglier it is the less likely people will want to choose that route of action.

There will alway be war. When going to war go to win and completely destroy the enemy as quickly and efficiently as possible.
